Checkout

The integration of our cloud solutions on bechtle.com is in full swing. The configuration feature may not yet be available to you – full roll-out will take place shortly. Look forward to a seamless and even more efficient shopping experience.

The checkout guides you through the last steps of your order. Required information appears based on your basket, and you can adjust addresses, payment methods and order details at any time.

OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE

The checkout is where you complete your order. It gives you a single place to purchase hardware, software licences, services, training and cloud solutions together. The checkout leads you through all required information step by step, including addresses, payment methods, order details and any contract documents. This makes it easy to purchase mixed baskets without repeating information or switching between different parts of the shop.

Placing an order

The five steps of the checkout

The checkout guides you through all information required for your order. It starts with your address details, followed by your payment method and any additional order information. If your basket contains cloud products, the relevant terms and conditions are displayed before you continue. In the final step, you review your information and submit the order. The checkout ensures that all required fields are complete and highlights anything missing.

Automatically skip steps

If your My Bechtle account already contains standard details such as billing address, shipping address or payment method, these steps are automatically skipped. This speeds up the process and avoids repeated entries. You can update all details saved in your account at any time.

Page layout and usability

Two‑column checkout structure

The checkout page is divided into two sections. The left side contains the five‑step process, while the right side shows a compact summary of your products and order totals. This layout helps you keep an overview of the information you have input and your basket throughout the process.

Navigating through the checkout steps

The left side lists the five checkout steps. You can scroll back at any time and reopen completed steps to correct or update your information by clicking Edit or on the heading. This allows you to amend addresses or delivery details at any time during the checkout process.

Product and order summary

The right‑hand side shows a summary that remains visible throughout the checkout process. It lists the products in your basket with a link to the order details, as well as subtotals and price information for standard products, training and cloud items. This is also where you’ll find the checkbox for accepting Terms and Conditions and the button to place your order.

Addresses

Invoice and shipping addresses for standard products

In the first step, you enter or confirm your invoice and shipping address for hardware and other physical products. If no address is saved in your account, you can add one while checking out. You can also enter a shipping address that differs from the invoice address. Addresses can be managed in your account under ‘Addresses & Payment’, where you can also set checkout defaults

Payment methods for cloud products and training courses

Cloud products and training sessions are always invoiced in line with the contract this is clearly indicated when checking out. If your basket includes different types of products, the appropriate payment method is applied to each one to ensure digital and physical products are correctly invoiced. This is clearly displayed during the checkout process.
